EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Advertisement, Turkish Commerce and the British Ambassador at Constantinople" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of advertising in Istanbul. The artwork, created by an English School artist, was originally published in The Illustrated London News on April 18,1896. The scene depicted showcases a bustling street in Constantinople (now Istanbul), where various advertisements vie for attention. Amidst the lively atmosphere stands the British Ambassador alongside Said Pasha, a prominent figure in Turkish commerce. Their presence signifies the importance of international trade between Britain and Turkey during this era. Notable brands are prominently displayed throughout the image: Bovril, Remington Typewriter Company, Colman's Starch – all seeking to capture potential customers' interest with their products. This visual representation highlights not only commercialism but also cultural exchange as it merges European and Middle Eastern influences. The engraving offers valuable insights into both Turkish culture and European advertising practices of that time. It serves as a testament to how advertisement played a significant role in shaping consumer behavior across different regions. Preserved within private collections today, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate historical advertising techniques while providing a window into an era when commerce transcended borders and cultures.
